On February 11, 2021, AMMO, Inc. executed a letter of intent to acquire GunBroker.com, and on May 3, 2021, announced the successful closing of their acquisition.[4][5] On January 3, 2023, now-parent company AMMO, Inc. appointed Jared Smith as the company's Chief Operating Officer & President.[6][7] Fred Wagenhals is Chairman/CEO of GunBroker.com via AMMO, Inc.[8][9][10]
